>> well, i certainly think wouldn't call it welcome. >> that was jay carney today, trying to explain how the president feels about the mess that is the petraeus affair. in the spotlight tonight, another day, another four star general investigated. this time it is general john allen who took over as commander of the u.s. forces in afghanistan and petraeus became director of the cia. in october, allen was also nominated by the president to be the supreme allied commander in europe, but the white house put that nomination on hold after it found out that allen is currently being investigated by the defense department for sending potentially inappropriate and flirtatious e-mails to jill kelley, the same jill kelley who received questionable e-mails from paula broadwell. the fbi's investigation into those e-mails eventually revealed broadwell's affair with general petraeus which eventually led to petraeus' resignation. remember her fbi friend that started the investigation? turns out he was also the person who called house majority leader eric cantor and told him what he knew. one more cha

now jay carney is warning that it would reverse decades of precedent if they reverse this. now, that is the solicitor general's position. but, you know, we're a day out from the ruling, and he's making comments like that. my question for you, chris, is, is the white house in a weakened position to go after this high court as supremely partisan in the wake of an arizona immigration law ruling that saw a bipartisan, if you will, i mean, you had members from the right part of the bench and the left join together to strike down three out of four parts of that law. if they come out against the administration tomorrow in health care, how strongly can the president make the argument or jay carney, his spokesman, that this is just a bunch of partisan hacks? >> well, they'll make it pretty strongly. if it goes against them, you can bet that the team obama and democrats writ large will decry the bush supreme court packed with these radical conservatives. it doesn't matter what they did because remember, megyn, this is washington where it doesn't really matter if what you're saying is

>> reporter: jay carney will be taking questions. something the president did not do. normally presidents have a news conference after their reelections. this was a chance for the president to lay count markers on where he stands and offer an olive branch to try to get this jump started. a lot of pressure on leaders in both parties. we have economists saying we could head into a double dip recession. you have had the markets rattle on wall street. so the president its coming off a strong victory tuesday night but is facing the real reality of governing as this has to be dealt with. i think you heard that he was saying he wasn't going to compromise his principles. he did not use the word mandate but all but claimed a mandate saying this balanced approach he's been talking about about raising taxes, that was fronts and center in the campaign and he says democrats won on that issue so it's time as he put it to get a majority of congress to agree with the will of the american people. his challenge is going to be that house republicans like john boehner have a mandate as we

we have a good working relationship with the department of state, but when jay carney the white house spokesman says that this white house has been cooperating with congress all along on benghazi, that is an out and out lie. what we've seen from this administration and the state department is cover-up and deception. that is why we would not just a private hearing we're going to have friday, we want an open hearing because the american public deserves it. secretary clinton, i am optimistic will meet our requests and be appearing before us. >> judge jeanine: i have to wrap right here. congressman, have you seen court-martials for adultery? >> i don't see it. article 134 allows for that and general petraeus has probably signed the orders from military judges for your officers throughout his career. it's possible. we technically would have jurisdiction over him. i don't see them reaching back and pulling him to charge him with adultery at this point. it's something we have good order for discipline and conduct becoming an officer in the military. i don't see it happening. >> judge jeanine
